Can't access to disk

Post by Cyberika » 2020/06/27 10:19:25

I have 2 physical HDD installed on my machine. On first one I have installed Centos 7 and on another one Centos 8. The problem is accessing the Centos 8 HDD from Centos 7. Vice versa I can do this operation. I mean When boot Centos 8 I can access Cento 7 HDD. Here is the error I get:

Code: Select all

Error mounting /dev/dm-4 at /rn/media/user_name/bla-bla-bla: Wrong fs type, /dev/dm-4 has an invalid superblock or missing helper program.
.

The error mentions /dev/dm-4. The other info does not seem to tell what dm-4 is.

That looks like whatever filesystem is on that device not compatible with CentOS 7. That does happen sometimes - kernel gets changed, features are added to the filesystem, new bits added in the superblock that are not backwards compatible.

What's the output from file -s /dev/dm-4 ?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thanks for reply

Code: Select all

/dev/dm-4: SGI XFS filesystem data (blksz 4096, inosz 512, v2 dirs)
is the output of file -s /dev/dm-4.

So this could be normal behavior?

So now run xfs_info /dev/dm-4 and see what's listed there. If you have an xfs file system on CentOS 7 that can be read then run it against that too and compare the outputs.
